Community leader, Sri Lanka

Knowledge acquired through action learning is very precious. It provides an opportunity for all those who cannot follow full-time courses in the traditional system by enabling them to fully utilize their life experience and work role to learn on a part-time basis. This brings hope for the future to all those with a thirst for knowledge and a desire to improve and advance. I am determined to take this message to Sri Lanka’s communities and to explain the value of the South Asian Academy for Good Governance (SAAGG)-GULL process culminating in a professional degree by action learning.

Our goal is to secure State or Government level endorsement in every nation where GULL is supporting lifelong learning. This is so that GULL's global recognition has national identity in the form of a letter of support from an appropriate State, Government or Agency representative.
